    13 Propane Fire Pits To Turn Your Backyard Into A Cozy Oasis

    Let's light it up (with no need to refill any gel or wood *ever* again).

    1. A lightweight Outland Living Firebowl complete with natural lava rocks and a carrying strap to make portability a breeze. Plus, it's super easy to use, even for first-time propane fit pit users!

    This pit measures 19 inches wide and 11 inches tall. 

    Promising review: "Who likes campfires? I DO! Who likes smelling like campfire and making everything in the RV smell like campfire for days? NOT ME! This is the glamper's (yes that's a real word) campfire. Easy on, easy off (like the Karate Kid). Well built and I love the cover as it makes transportation easy. A 30 pound propane tank ran it for around 16 hours on the low setting (plenty of heat). Our family spends a lot more time outside around the fire now that's it's so easy. Also passerbys are attracted to the flame and stop in for a chat. We've never had so many friends." —Heather J. Ledeboer

    2. A propane fire pit encased by natural stones you'll have nothin' but burnin' love for. This little number has that "I built it myself and did a really great job" aesthetic without you actually needing to build anything yourself.

    This pit measures 27.6 inches wide and 9.5 inches tall. 

    Promising review: "Such a great buy and worth the price. The igniter is easy to use. Just a push button. And the battery is super easy to change if need be. The gas valve on the unit was labeled detailed enough so any adult would have no problem starting this bad boy up. The 30,000 btu burner gives off good heat. I got a very well-ventilated garage that I put this in and me and my buddies sat around it all night and stayed very cozy and it was in the around 30 degrees or so outside. The hose it comes with is heavy duty. All around a solid unit. Would be great for driveways or even decks or places you aren't allowed to have an open fire pit. Is very enjoyable to sit around. Very satisfied customer." —Chris krtz

    Get it from Amazon for $199.99.

    3. A rectangular propane fire pit table that conveniently doubles as a table when its flames are off – because why have one or the other when you can have both? Not to mention, that blue fire glass is so aesthetically pleasing no one would judge you if you bought an entire new patio furniture set just to match.

    This pit measures 42 inches wide and 24 inches tall.

    Promising review: "We have been looking for a reasonably priced rectangular fire table for some time and decided on this unit mainly because of the high reviews it had received. We are more than satisfied with our purchase. We wanted something that would give off enough heat to extend our time on our outdoor porch. When turned up all the way, it is like a furnace! We also like that it came with a metal cover for the fire pit and that it also came with bluish green glass marble pieces. Assembly was easy, even for one person." —Edward Risavich

    Get it from Amazon for $389.99.

    And since you love multitasking furniture so much, here's where you can find even more overachieving home decor items.

    4. A modern propane firebowl column so classy it'll *instantly* add cozy-chic ambience anywhere you put it. I'm specifically imagining two of these on each side of the patio door – they'd look SO good there.

    Promising review: "This propane fire pit is awesome! It looks just like real rocks and takes a regular sized propane tank, which is great because they are easy to get. It is completely put together and all you have to do is attach the propane tank. My kids have been making s'mores on it too! You will love it and I feel it was a great buy! Thanks, Bond Manufacturing, for a great product!" —Allison E. 

    Get it from Amazon for $236.47+ (available by itself or with extra accessories).

    5. A matte black propane fire pit that'll have everyone asking you the same ~burning~ question: "Where'd ya get that?!" A fireside convo about how great Target is will likely ensue after you tell them that's where you found this gem.

    This pit measures 28 inches wide and 24.75 inches tall. 

    Promising review: "Easy to install with easy printed instructions. Took me 45 minutes from opening the box to igniting the flame. You can feel the warmth coming off the fire, even on a fairly breezy day. The door for the propane tank is not on a hinge, it is connected by a magnet and rests on hooks. This design works well because you can easily remove the door so it does not get in the way when installing a new tank. I always keep the flame/gas control on 'low.' This puts out enough flame to enjoy the fire pit but conserves the fuel. I have operated the pit for approx. 4+ hours run time on low and have not ran out of propane yet. I would recommend this purchase." —Dwebster

    Get it from Amazon for $199.99 (available in two colors).

    7. A weather-resistant lava rock-filled propane firebowl you (and everyone who sees it) will ~lava~ a whole lot. Just remove its cover (yep, it comes with one!), adjust the flame to your liking, and enjoy those mesmerizing flames for as long as your heart desires.

    Promising review: "Love, love, love it! Perfect size, perfect weight. We can easily move it around as necessary. We even placed it on a heavy duty rolling pot tray so we can easily disconnect the propane and roll the pot to wherever we need it." —Alishia

    Get it from Wayfair for $303.99 (originally $319.99).

    Promising review: "We LOVE our fire pit table. The size and shape are perfect and it’s easy to use. The fire and glow is lovely. The fire pit throws off just enough heat. It looks great on our deck by the pool. My family has been enjoying using it this summer and we can’t wait to use it through the fall." —Jessica

    Get it from Wayfair for $349.99 (originally $579.99).

    This pit measures 18.5 inches wide and 14.65 inches tall.

    Promising review: "I wanted a camp fire without all the hassle of hauling wood, building a fire, and the billowing smoke. If this is you, order this yesterday! The 'rocks' that come with it heat up and glow red like coals when heated. It is perfect. I've already had friends purchase one and they love it as well." —Barry Calfee

    10. square iron fire pit table with plenty of space to place your coffee mug(s) while providing you with some warmth on a chilly morning.

    This pit measures 28 inches wide and 26 inches tall.

    Promising review: "This has changed our outdoor living. Love spending time just sitting by it and watching the flames. It’s made very well and I love how easy it is to use. One 5-gallon tank of propane lasts about four to five hours. I use it for about 30 minutes at a time in the morning and evening having coffee or winding down...I enjoy it mainly for the ambience it creates on my back porch. I would definitely recommend it if you want an attractive, well-built fire pit as a spot to gather around on a cool evening and make s’mores or just talk. Would buy again for sure." —Derek S.

    Get it from Amazon for $199.99.

    11. A lightweight cylindrical metal propane fire pit if you're on the hunt for something that won't take up a ton of space and is super easy to use. This lil' column boasts a quick-start electronic ignition so you can spend less time setting it up and more time basking in all that coziness.

    This pit measures 15 inches wide and 28 inches tall.

    Promising review: "It's lightweight (probably about 50 pounds with a full tank). It's easy to move and travel with and comes with a nice cover. It does put off nice heat. It's holding up well through many hours and a dozen or so uses. I'm guessing one propane tank should get 20–30 hours of flame time." —Guest

    Get it from Walmart for $100+ (available in two colors).

    Get it from Wayfair for $499.99 (originally $702.99).

    13. A splurge-worthy concrete propane fire pit complete with lava rocks just screaming ~luxury~. Plus, you'll be spending sooo much more time outdoors. Nothin' like getting some fresh air while staying nice and snug.

    Promising review: "I love this fire pit. It was windy the first night and the flame barely moved. Had it lit for four hours and the sides did not get hot. So very happy with this purchase. A 20-pound tank will burn for 15 hours on a low setting." —Teresa
